How Decentro and Tramo are Redefining Financial Accessibility Across India

Banking the Unbanked. 

This one statement encapsulates the ethos that drives the financial inclusion narrative in a nation where the fintech adoption rate stands remarkably high at 87 per cent, surpassing the global average of 64 per cent. With the India stack finding a comfortable ally in the form of new-age fintech solutions, access to financial services has penetrated deeper into our country’s demography. 

However, despite increased internet usage and tremendous growth, 190 million Indians are still unbanked. Serving this demography is critical and can be enabled only via access to digital financial services. 

While banking services are the first step, they also set the tone for poverty reduction and economic growth opportunities.

Tramo helps in addressing the first step of this growth journey. With the vision of enabling businesses of any size via their cutting-edge technology, Tramo focuses on serving the unbanked and underbanked populations by providing them access to secure and convenient digital banking services. 

Let’s see how.

What were Tramo’s key challenges?

Dealing with the breadth of offerings in different businesses of different sizes is tricky. With this focus group expanding to even the rural sectors of the country, collections & reconciliation are generally challenging. Between high-volume client onboarding, disbursals, and collections, Tramo hit a significant roadblock in two major places. 

• Client verification at scale
• Effective payments collection

How did Decentro empower Tramo?

When you are serving a sector that has almost no exposure to financial services, there is a need for effective collaboration to expedite quick access to capital. While the host of solutions Tramo provided was extensive, partnering with Decentro allowed them to add the prowess of our Banking APIs for the following outcomes: 

Single-point KYC checks

While dealing with underbanked and unbanked segments, background checks are crucial for any platform. With Decentro’s single end-point for KYC APIs, Tramo set seamless onboarding flows to offer smooth and secure user onboarding. 

With single-point access to various data points such as PAN, Aadhaar, Driving License, Voter ID, and more, Tramo can onboard users in real-time and is able to automate the KYC process once and for all. 

Multi-Collect for Collections and Payouts

The challenge of enabling fund collection, bookkeeping, reconciliation, and payouts was also solved by Tramo by issuing Virtual Bank Wallets for their vendors using Decentro’s Multi Collect API. Eliminating the expending time, effort, and capital for managing fund collections and payments, Tramo leveraged the efficiency of Decentro-enabled VAs for each business on its roster without any hassle.

What were the key outcomes for Tramo?

By leveraging Decentro’s API for banking integrations, Tramo has simplified the payment collection process and has been able to drive the following results.

• 5Mn+ Successful API Hits
• Over 54Bn Processed via Multi-Collect 
• Availed Decentro’s Multi-Bank Infrastructure
• 10X faster integration timelines. 
• Availed Decentro’s multi-channel customer support for any queries or resolution
